For the Fall Term 2020, we are offering online and remote courses. Remote courses show a day and time, and will meet virtually via live video. A limited number of labs, math, nursing, public safety programs, performing arts, automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and some language courses will resume on campus and are notated in the course schedule. For more information, view class types.
Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students
- Students shall be admitted as transfer students if they have previously attended a college or university.
- Students who have earned fewer than six semester hours of transferable college credit must also submit an official high school transcript.
- Students who have earned six or more transferrable credit hours from a regionally accredited institution prior to July 1, 2012 are not required to submit a high school transcript for admission, however, High School transcripts are required for financial aid.
- Transfer students must request official transcripts (in a sealed envelope) or electronically from all previous colleges and universities that are regionally accredited and send them to the Enrollment Services/Registrar’s Office. Official transcripts are to have been generated within the past one year. Transferable credit from non-regionally accredited institutions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. All credits attempted and earned at the baccalaureate level from regionally accredited colleges and universities are accepted to fulfill Seminole State degree requirements. Accepted transfer courses from regionally accredited colleges and universities will satisfy general education requirements for the associate degree only if the courses are essentially the same as a corresponding Seminole State course.
- All official transcripts should be submitted via hard copy (in a sealed envelope) or electronically, prior to beginning classes.
- Credits earned at institutions accredited by one of the six regionally-accredited associations will be accepted to fulfill Seminole State degree requirements provided a grade of "D" or higher was earned. However, Gordon Rule courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or higher. Grades of "I" (incomplete) are transferred into Seminole State as a grade of "F." Credits from non-regionally accredited institutions will be evaluated on an individual basis at the request of the student. Students may be required to provide additional documentation that will assist in this process.
